HARRY POTTER AND THE CHAMBER OF SECRETS
Walk-thru for Wizard Cards
[PC version]
version 1.3.1
Compiled February 5, 2003
INTRODUCTION:
Welcome second-year students to Hogswarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
I, your humble tour guide, shall lead you through the corridors, passageways,
and school grounds. Along the way I'll try to point out all of the areas in
the school which are hidden away. With a bit of exploration and observation,
you should be able to collect all one-hundred-and-one wizard cards along our
way! I'll note these as BWC and SWC for Bronze and Silver Wizard Cards,
respectively speaking of course. The Gold Wizard Cards are only available to
those students who have shown great cunning and skill to collect all forty
Silver Wizard Cards. But I'm getting ahead of myself and shall explain those
later.
Instead of being a linear path through the timeline surrounding the events of
The Chamber of Secrets, we'll progress through the various sections of the
school as you come across them. There are second-year requisite spells that
you will need to learn before you can get to some of the secret areas. These,
too, will be listed with each of the secrets. Shall we begin? Yes, let's!
Have your wand at the ready...

I. WHOMPING WILLOW (2 secrets)
The game begins with Harry and Ron flying Mr. Weasley's enchanted Ford Anglia
into the Whomping Willow. There is no way back to the Willow after you leave
the level so get its two secrets right away.
1 Bronze Wizard Card
- courtyard past Secret 2
0 Silver Wizard Cards
1) REQUIRED: Alohomora
Next to the trunk where Harry gets the chocolate frog is a large crack in the
wall. Cast Alohomora on it to reveal the secret.
2) REQUIRED: Alohomora
You'll see a small courtyard in front of you and an alcove to the right after
the Flipendo stairway. Cast Alohomora on the alcove for its secret.
II. SCHOOL GROUNDS - NIGHT (6 secrets)
You'll be outside of the school after escaping the willow. Later in the game,
Harry and Ron go through the grounds at night to see Hagrid. These are the
only times you'll be outside at night so be sure to get everything you can on
the second trip. Note that any Wizard Cards you get in this area also
appear -- but are NOT repeated -- when on the grounds during the daytime. For
example, if you collect a BWC from Secret 2 during the day, it will not be
there when you revisit the area at night and vice versa et cetera, et cetera.

Follow these down to the other glowing door. Inside is a chest with a BWC.
4) REQUIRED: Alohomora, Diffindo
Once inside the main corridors, head down past some of the students and cast
Alohomora on the yellow painting of the inverted triangle and symbols. Follow
this passageway and cast Diffindo on the webs. The end of the hall empties
into the Slytherin library. Cast Alohomora to open the wall.
5) REQUIRED: Flipendo
In the library, cast Flipendo on the ring hanging on the wall. This will lower
some bookcases. Climb and jump to the highest on that side of the room to open
a hidden niche. There's a BWC inside the chest.
6) REQUIRED: Alohomora
Go out of the corridor to the next hallway. There's a room with a fountain to
the right. Go inside and cast Alohomora on the fountain's head. A chest with
a BWC is waiting inside.
7) REQUIRED: Alohomora
Outside of the Slytherin Common Room is a dragon statue and two Slytherin
banners. Cast Alohomora on each banner to open the next secret area. Its
chest contains a SWC.
8) REQUIRED: none
After talking to Malfoy, head back to the Boys' dorm room. Go up the stairs and
open the chest at the top for some beans.
XIII. SPONGIFY CHALLENGE (16 secrets)
Spongify is a handy spell that allows the caster to turn specific floor areas
into trampoline-like platforms. Jumping on these helps the person to reach
those high places. As with the other spell challenges, come back any time to
try and beat your score or find things that you missed the first time through.
This is the final spell class for the school year.

In the first room with the Spongify floor, cast Flipendo at the two gnomes and
throw them in the holes. A wall opens after this and a gargoyle is in the
alcove. Cast Lumos on it. Now climb back up and cast Spongify on the floor.
Bounce up to the challenge star and then jump across to the glowing platform.
Inside the wall is a chest with a BWC.
2) REQUIRED: Alohomora

wall. This pushes out a ledge on the left. Climb it and jump across into the
wall opening. Get the SWC from the chest.

them into their holes. After both have been dealt with, the wall to the left
opens up to reveal a chest of beans.
4) REQUIRED: Spongify, Alohomora
From Secret 3, bounce up to the next ledge with Spongify. Now from here, do
not cast Spongify. Go left and along the ledge instead. Cast Spongify on the
floor here and bounce across the length of the room. Cast Alohomora on the
wall to your left and collect the challenge star.
5) REQUIRED: Flipendo, Lumos
In the room with the three imps, stun each of these and dispose of them in
their hole. This opens up a section of the wall to the left. Inside is a
gargoyle where you can cast Lumos. Do so, then go around and behind the
Flipendo pillar. Inside the glowing wall is a chest with a BWC.
6) REQUIRED: Flipendo
Use Flipendo on each of the four fire crabs in the room after Secret 5. Flip
them into the four niches. This opens a stairway above the chasm. Drop down
below and open the chest to collect a SWC.

After Secret 6, collect the challenge star and head down the corridor to the
portrait hall. On the left side is a large portrait with no occupant. Jump
up and into the frame. Inside is a chest.

From Secret 7, look at the opposite wall and look for an upside down picture.
Cast Flipendo on it to lower the stairs. Open the chest for another SWC.
9) REQUIRED: Flipendo, Lumos, Spongify, Alohomora
From Secret 7, head down the hallway to the room with the pixies. Go farther
into the room and drop below to the lower level. On the wall near the middle
of the room, cast Flipendo on the ring. A gargoyle is behind the wall so cast
Lumos on it. Climb back up the ledges to where you first entered the room.
Cast Spongify on the floor tile. On the next level there is a revealed
Spongify floor so cast Spongify on it, too. This tosses you backwards so
quickly turn around and grab the ledge. Jump to the ledge on the left and then
cast Alohomora on the crack. Drop down below and collect the challenge star.
10) REQUIRED: Alohomora, Spongify
In the room with the Spongify pillars and the portraits, look up and try to
find Hedwig flying around. Cast Alohomora on her to open a section of the wall
on the other side of the room. Bounce across and onto the platform with the
challenge star. Jump into the room and open the chest.
11) REQUIRED: Lumos, Flipendo, Spongify
From Secret 10, drop down below and cast Lumos on the gargoyle. Follow the
glowing ledges to the right. There is a carving in one of the Spongify pillars
so cast Flipendo at it. Continue down the ledges and into the newly opened
alcove. Cast Spongify on the floor and bounce across to the other alcove.
Open the chest for a SWC.
12) REQUIRED: Flipendo
In the "spider trap" room, cast Flipendo on one of the carved switches. Stand
in the other niche so that you are off of the main floor area. Cast Flipendo

floor to find a chest with beans.
13) REQUIRED: Lumos
From the "spider trap" room, cast Lumos on the gargoyle in the left alcove.
Follow the right doorway into the next room and go through the glowing wall to
the right. Go through it and open the chest for more beans.

and cast Flipendo on the carving in the left wall. Go behind and collect the
beans.
15) REQUIRED: Flipendo, Spongify
There is a spider hanging above on its web in a corner hallway before the end
of the challenge. After taking it out, cast Flipendo on the carving in the
right wall. Cast Spongify on the new floor and bounce up to the alcove above.
Get the BWC from the chest.
16) REQUIRED: Flipendo, Spongify
Before grabbing the end-of-challenge star, cast Flipendo on the carving above
and behind it. This opens part of the wall on the other side of the room.
Cast Spongify on the floor and bounce across to it.
XIV. THE FORBIDDEN FOREST (4 secrets)
As menacing as it is dark at night, the Forbidden Forest is not the safest
place for a student to be. Search well for the secrets since you will not have
another chance to come back. Be sure to also have plenty of Wiggenweld potion
handy as you may need it when you reach your destination.
4 Bronze Wizard Cards

1) REQUIRED: Lumos, Spongify, Diffindo, Flipendo
At the start of the level, cast Lumos on the gargoyle to reveal a spongify pad
to the right side of the other Spongify pad. Cast Songify on it and bounce up
to the log on the left. Cast Diffindo on the web holding the log then cast
Spongify on the pad that was under the log. Do the same to the log on the
right side (and don't forget the chest of beans behind the webbing). Cast
Spongify on the next pad and bounce down to the logs. Jump back to the first
log (towards the gargoyle) and look to the right where a symbol is etched on
the wall. Cast Flipendo on it and go through the hole. Inside is a chest with
a SWC.
2) REQUIRED: Diffindo, Rictusempra
In the cave with the many webs and a few spiders, cast Diffendo at all the webs
holding back the spiders. Cast Rictusempra at the spiders once they are free.
After defeating the last one, a section of the wall will open. Unlock the
chest for a SWC.

In the area with the three imps, follow the river's source to a cave under the

BWC.
XV. THE CHAMBER OF SECRETS - PART I (3 secrets)
The chamber has been opened! You cannot return so gather all that you can --
and get out alive!
0 Bronze Wizard Cards
0 Silver Wizard Cards
1) REQUIRED: Skurge, Lumos
From the starting location, go left and remove the ectoplasm from the doorway
with Skurge. Cast Lumos on the gargoyle inside. Cast Skurge on the next batch
of ectoplasm and jump out the doorway to the ledge on the left. Cast Skurge
once again to open the next doorway and go inside. Head left and go through
the glimmering wall for a chest with a chocolate frog.
2) REQUIRED: none
When in the room where the walls are closing in, make your way to the other
side. Do NOT drop down and out of the room. There will be a small area where
you can stand and not get crushed. Turn around and face the way from which you
came. Go behind the left wall and open the chest for some beans.
3) REQUIRED: Flipendo
At the top of the room with the fire crab and pixies, do not stand on the grate
in the center of the bridge. Instead, cast Flipendo on the carvings of the
snakes on the opposite wall. This will cause the wall to slide back. Drop
down on the lift which takes you to a chest with beans. Make sure you cast
Diffindo on the rope to your right before going down the lift.
XVI. THE CHAMBER OF SECRETS - PART II (4 secrets)
Harry continues ever onward in hopes of finding Ginny and defeating the monster
of the chamber. Be prepared for the final fight!
1 Bronze Wizard Cards
- on first beam in orange snails trapdoor room
0 Silver Wizard Cards
1) REQUIRED: Flipendo
In the room with the two imps, cast Flipendo on them and then toss their
stunned bodies into the holes. This will open a wall on your right that was
hiding a gargoyle and some goodies.
2) REQUIRED: Lumos, Spongify, Flipendo
From Secret 1, cast Lumos on the gargoyle. Quickly run to the grate down the
opposite hall. Cast Flipendo on the switch and then Spongify on the floor.
Bounce up to the catwalks (which appear after using the fire crabs on the crab-
plates below). Jump across to the other side and then repeat the Flipendo and
Spongify spells on the next switch and floor. Mind the pixie, though! At the
top, run down the corridor and go into the left room for a chest of beans. Get
the chocolate frog from the other hidden room if you need it.
3) REQUIRED: Flipendo
In the room with the orange snails and trapdoor, head towards the trapdoor.
Turn around and look up on the wall behind you. Cast Flipendo on the carving
to reveal a gargoyle in the wall behind you. Cast Lumos on it and two
invisible beams will appear by the trapdoor triggers.
4) REQUIRED: ??
The Chamber of Secrets does live up to its name. This was one that I could not
find. Look around and see if any of you can locate one of the secrets in the
chamber.
XVII. THE FINAL BATTLE (0 secrets)
There's nothing to find here. Just avoid the serpent and you'll do fine for a
second-year student. If you need to mix some potion ingredients, there is a
cauldron in an alcove off to the left in the fire snake heads area and some
more ingredients to the right.
0 Bronze Wizard Cards
0 Silver Wizard Cards
XVIII. GOLD WIZARD CHALLENGE (0 secrets)
This challenge is only available to those students who have collected (or
purchased) all forty of the Silver Wizard Cards. Head up to the first floor on
the Grand Staircase to unlock the door with your four keys. The challenge is
fairly simple and there are no secrets so I'll leave this for you to figure
out. There are eleven cards to collect and a clock to beat. My only advice is
not to hang around and fight any of the creatures that Hagrid may have placed
in the rooms.
